The Marker robotic platform was tested as a short-range air defense system

The Russian robotic complex "Marker", tested as a short-range air defense system, has demonstrated success in the fight against small drones. Platform tests were recognized as successful.

To use the "Marker" as an air defense system, a small-arms-grenade launcher module and a radar were installed on it, capable of recognizing air targets with a small dispersion area. During the tests, the radar detected the target, transmitted its coordinates to the module, after which it was destroyed by the fire of a regular machine gun. At the same time, the shooting module, after receiving the coordinates of the target, independently tracked it using optics. It is emphasized that the "Marker" can be trained using modern neural networks and hit targets even faster.

Another test took place at the trap shooting range, where the robot shot down 80% of the launched skeet with a carbine.

As noted by the executive director of NPO "Android Technique" Evgeny Dudorov, whose words are quoted RIA News, the Marker robotic complex can be used as short-range air defense to neutralize drones, including a swarm drones.

The beginning of tests of the robotic platform "Marker", created jointly by the Foundation for Advanced Research and NPO "Android Technology", was announced in early March 2019. The platform is designed in a modular fashion. The ultimate goal of the Marker project is to create a fully autonomous complex capable of independently performing a wide range of tasks.

I understand that the robot cart is a separate unit, and you can load even a machine gun, even a sack of potatoes on it?
And a robot-shooting complex with a radar and an optical sight is a separate unit and can it be screwed even to this cart, even to a tank, even to the roof of your house?

A robot that can independently, along a predetermined route, and most importantly HIDDENLY transport potatoes, is the dream of any ensign.

Very good !

I have a number of questions. At what height and range were these plates, at what speed they flew. The question is not in detection, but in the effectiveness of art. systems. As far as I remember, everything is very sad without a programmable fuse, but here with a simple fart 80% is a direct breakthrough, something I can’t believe.

What art system are you talking about? Test shooting from a CARBINE is written! I believe it was the aiming system that was tested, autonomy and all that. And so any suitable tool in size can be screwed to this system

[Comandor777]

When the neural network grows and develops, I think the efficiency will be at the level of 96-98,5%

[Vadim237]

It will be necessary for him to create a separate weapon of 30 mm caliber with fragmentation shells and a remote detonation system.

[nnm]

This is if a specially trained major did not stand next to the robot and did not clobber it with these plates))

A skeet robot, that's cool.
Machines beat people in chess, in civil defense too, now they swung at skeet shooting, ish you.

Pampering it.
And explain to the author what is meant by a swarm of drones

We don't know everything, maybe it was a massive star skeet raid!

[mojohed2012]

The idea is certainly interesting. But not working yet.
Here such a thing will bring down 2-3 UAVs of someone, and there the cartridges in the pellet will run out. Who will ship them and from where?
And there is also electronic warfare. And this electronic warfare connection with the operator that controls this platform can break, or even intercept control.
Now, if this device could move independently and make decisions to defeat / refuse it, would have a sufficient level of independence and intelligence - then yes.
But, so far, neither the world nor the Russian Federation have reached such a point as to entrust decisions to technology.
Yes, and in Russia it is hard with electronic components for high-tech devices.

[YOUR]

What are you to this electronic warfare. Do you think she is so all-good and all-powerful? Yes, a dangerous opponent, but nothing more than ordinary. And they will destroy that they are that we are electronic warfare systems in the first place. Conventional anti-radar missiles. Which all the interference on the side and they are induced on the signal.
About the Marker platform. Does she knock herself out? Of course not. Luckily, they didn’t even think of such a level of artificial intelligence. The operator sits and plays a toy knock down a plate. Everything is just a TV camera - a screen, a joystick. No other detection systems.
In general, a great expensive toy.

[Johnson Smithson]

Electronic warfare and against UAVs will work. And with this platform, you can stretch the cable.

[KCA]

"Uranus" was already tested in fully automatic mode, went along the route, found a target, fired back and returned back, the operator only watched and gave a command to open fire, but the bot can also open fire on its own, if there was such a command

[nnm]

.... several cymbals launched at the same time)))

[YOUR]

A lot of saucers (UAVs) from different sides at different heights and ranges.
And not a crowd flying together, in a dense group.

[nnm]

Colleague, I'm just kidding. Otherwise, I already wanted to write that a platoon of soldiers is simply taken, they are blindfolded and they throw plates in all directions.

[YOUR]

Hmm. You don't always get the joke. For there are some citizens who, in all seriousness, begin to discuss this nonsense and seek immediate application for it.

[Johnson Smithson]

against a swarm of drones, you can put a swarm of such wedges if they coordinate and disassemble targets

[YOUR]

How they will be coordinated, they have no means of reconnaissance. What the operator saw in the camera was then able to shoot down and then only 80%.

[Johnson Smithson]

in the article there is that target designation is given to them from the radar

[YOUR]

There is a lot written there. For example, there is a rifle-grenade launcher complex. A grenade launcher is for air defense why. About some neural networks and even self-learning ones. Some skyline.
Pampering.
You can put self-learning neural networks on this complex. And why, for example, not put on a tank or on the S-400.

"...To use the "Marker" as an air defense system, a rifle-grenade launcher module and radar capable of recognizing air targets with a small dispersion area ....."
========
No, it’s great, but it’s not entirely clear WHY an air defense system (even if it’s short-range) needs a Grenade Launcher ???
Well, a machine gun - this is understandable, why a grenade launcher ??? Or is it a "slip"?

[Thrifty]

Broom It's simple, they created this poor Marker, and now they are feverishly trying to impose it under any sauce on the army so that the military will buy it! with drones...

[nnm]

What do you mean why? In accordance with the long-standing principle of equipping a fighter before going on a mission - "whatever it is!"

[V1er]

30 mm automatic cannon and remotely detonated projectiles plus a smart automatic target acquisition and destruction system. And issues with air defense against small drones, swarms, birds can be closed.

[nnm]

I read the opinion of many posts from colleagues on the site that the 30mm caliber itself is not enough for this.

[Thrifty]

V1er - from firing from this gun, it will crumble from vibration and recoil! Nothing can be placed on it larger than the CPV.

So I meant not necessarily on this platform, but in general. Develop a module with an automatic tracking system, radar, computer brains, the ability to integrate and connect to other systems and radars. And put this module everywhere, on infantry fighting vehicles, armored personnel carriers, mrap, cars, maybe even on tanks and use it as air defense or against infantry. Shells with remote detonation are very versatile. True, this will be expensive. But this is better than they will burn our equipment and much more effective than KAZ.

Normal caliber, the Germans won in their Skyranger 30 HEL system just use a 30 mm cannon. The main thing here is a smart projectile that can explode in time, otherwise if you think like that, you can reach calibers of 76, 88, 90 mm
